Last month I took my e46 to the dealer for a NY State inspection and to get a new key programmed. They actually found and performed 3 recalls: passenger airbag, driver airbag, and a tail light wiring harness.

They managed to;

1. Forgot to bill me for the new key
2. Billed me for the programming even though they said they wouldn't
3. Scratched my wood trim when installing the passenger airbag
4. Deprogram the car's customizable locking behavior (one click unlocks all doors, etc)


They promised me a replacement for the wood trim piece (despite not getting it to me yet), but I'm not letting them install it. I'll just put it on a shelf. The scratches aren't that bad and I'm skeptical the color will match.

And I doubt this is related, but my radio reception is now terrible and I don't recall it being an issue before the visit. I'm wondering if the antenna wire runs anywhere near the tail light harness they touched?
